Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Dark Demon Realm Mission! is a promotional manga series written and illustrated by Yoshitaka Nagayama, which originally ran in Shueisha’s Saikyō Jump magazine. The series adapts events from story lines original to the Super Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game.
The original ten chapters of Dark Demon Realm Mission! were published from the September 2016 to March 2018 issues of Saikyō Jump.
Dark Demon Realm Mission! was succeeded by a sister series titled Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Universe Mission!! beginning in the May 2018 issue, also authored by Nagayama. Demon Realm Mission! began serialization again in the May 2019 issue, running alongside Universe Mission!! at the same time. Both series came to a close in the March 2020 issue of Saikyō Jump, succeeded by Nagayama’s Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Big Bang Mission!!! series in the following issue.
The series received a collected print edition spanning three volumes. Individual, named chapter titles were not assigned until the collected edition, where they are listed in respective volume’s table of contents. The second collected volume, released in May 2018, inserted an additional chapter between the “original” ninth and tenth chapters, shifting what was originally the “tenth” chapter in serialization to become the eleventh chapter.
Yoshitaka Nagayama debuted in a supplemental booklet packed in with the December 2013 issue of Saikyō Jump, with “Dragon Ball Heroes: Rookie Charisma Mission 0” depicting the daily life and “training” of Engineer Yoshito and new Battle Navigators Tsubasa and Momo-chan in a cartoony style. The Charisma Mission series eventually received its own standard serialization in Saikyō Jump beginning in the July 2014 issue, followed by traditional story serials beginning with Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Dark Demon Realm Mission! in the September 2016 issue.
